I got a tip on this site for using small spinners with a worm around 25 to 35 ft deep in cove mouths. Any other ideas? This one was 25ft deep but nowhere near a cove. While I release all bass this fish was excellent eating. Would be nice to be able to find these regularly. Any tips would be appreciated.

Just go to the Weirs in front of the public docks and drop a line with a #8 hook and a piece of worm or a small single hook jig with a piece of worm. Just float around till you start catching them. Once you do You will catch as many as you want! Be sure to bring a 5 gallon bucket to carry your fish home. I consider white perch to be the best eating fish in the lake!
19 mile bay is another good area for white perch.
Good Luck!
